Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Cuvee Charlie Blanc 2022

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant but best to open it half an hour before service. Charles Audoin is widely regarded as the most renowned wine producer in the Marsannay appellation (as also claimed by critic Robert Parker). Located in the northernmost part of the Côte de Nuits, Marsannay is a lesser-known appellation where red, white, and rosé wines are produced. The northern position of the vineyards favors the production of fresh and sparkling white wines with an aromatic and mineral profile that are generally less popular, offering an excellent value for money. Produced from Chardonnay grapes grown on marly soils, the Cuvée Charlie takes its name from the daughter of Cyril, son of Charles and currently manager of the company, born in 2016. The wine ages for 12 months in half oak barrels. This full-bodied and elegant white shows intense buttery scents to the nose, mixed with fresh fruity notes of citrus and stone fruit and subtle woody and vanilla hints. In
